Mile High United Way Awarded BBB Torch Award

Mile High United Way was honored to receive the 2015 Better Business Bureau of Denver/Boulder Torch Award in the large nonprofit category on Nov.5, 2015.

The award is a tribute to those who exemplify an outstanding commitment to fair, honest and ethical practices. Judges analyzed each applicant’s ethical standards and practices, reputation, marketing, advertising, management, and training programs to distinguish those that were most outstanding.

“It is a true honor to receive the Better Business Bureau Torch Award. At Mile High United Way, we know that if we are really going to create opportunities for everyone in our community to thrive, we must act with transparency, excellence and the highest ethical standards in everything we do,” said Christine Benero, President and CEO, Mile High United Way.

Mile High United Way creates opportunities for all children, their families and individuals through its unique position at the intersection of the public, private, philanthropic and nonprofit sectors. We are more than an organization—we are a catalyst for social change. We develop long-term solutions that ensure our children are learning and reading at grade-level; all young people graduate from high school ready for college or the workforce; and individuals and families have their basic needs met and are afforded every opportunity to move toward economic success.

We know that our community’s challenges are bigger than any one organization can solve alone and by partnering with hundreds of local nonprofits, government agencies, policy-makers and businesses, we work together to collectively on finding solutions.

Last year, Mile High United Way helped improve the lives of nearly 350,000 people in Metro Denver.
